  • Painting at the museum once more

    Painting at the museum once more

    It was bad weather again yesterday. Actually, it was really, really windy. This was the first time I painted together with Annika Berglund, my new plein air painting buddy! We were at the Natural History Museum, one of my favourite haunts when the weather isn’t great.

  • A quick watercolour of the Vasa Museum

    A quick watercolour of the Vasa Museum

    The museum is on Djurgården here in Stockholm. I think it’s a lovely composition with the building and the boats in front of it.

    The Vasa Museum houses an almost fully intact 17th-century naval vessel, the 64 gun warship called Vasa . It sank on her maiden voyage in 1628.

  • Is it possible to paint plein air, indoors?

    Is it possible to paint plein air, indoors?

    Yesterday, the weather was so bad in Stockholm. Wet and 13 degrees. I arranged with my friend Daniel Luther to meet at the Natural History Museum. We go there often during the winter, but this was the first time we visited during the summer. I painted a stuffed Woodland Kingfisher. I enjoyed myself. Oh yeah, it was the premiere for my new easel that I built just recently. I’ll talk more about that in the next post.

    I painted this little watercolour in a café called Tårtan (cake). I was with friends, they sketched too. I took the reference photo the summer before. The Stockholm archipelago.

  • This year’s first plein air

    This year’s first plein air

    Oh, it was so nice last Wednesday. The sun was shining and it was above freezing. Actually, it reached 12 degrees. Amazing!
    I spent the day at my good friend’s summer house near Trosa. It lies south east of Stockholm. I painted two watercolour sketches, both of them I was pretty happy with. Later we had lunch in Trosa. A very enjoyable day. And to top it all off, I went to life drawing in the evening.

  • I enjoy a good train journey

    I enjoy a good train journey

    We travelled to Gothenburg to visit my son and his family. The trip from Stockholm takes three and half hours, which gave me lots of time to do a few watercolour studies.

    I plan to paint a series of paintings of chosen islands in the archipelago. Right now, I’m inspired by the landscape of Svartlöga, an island in the outer archipelago.
